Russell Leng: Temporary Tunnels<\/em>
\nat FIELD Contemporary in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
\n26 October-9 December 2017<\/h2>\n

Temporary Tunnels<\/em> presents 8 new paintings and a series of drawings by Leng incorporated into
\na site-specific installation.<\/p>\n

Russell Leng narrates the work:<\/em>
\n“After I left the clearing (where the stone table offered so much), I entered a space that appeared when needed and faded once passed through. It was solid but permeable–sandstone perhaps, with tiny holes punctured into its surface. As I entered this tunnel, my pockets became heavy. Reaching in, I found lost objects that seemed familiar. I placed each one into a hole and a memory played out in colour. Cloudy stones became piles of blue powder. They multiplied in my peripheral vision, and diminished in scale as my eyes focused back on them. Clarity weakened their wonder and denied their rarity.<\/p>\n

“I continue through and arrive at the mouth of another tunnel, this one high-key white. A cut in the wall calls for a healing noise to patch, cover and repair. A shimmer behind, half in half out. I navigate over the uneven terrain, aided by spikes secured to my feet. They lead me to a tightly woven plane, then ask to be used. I break the spikes from my toes and start to scrape, cut and arrange. As I work, I see a round form ahead, whispering a familiar invitation.”<\/p>\n

Russell Leng is a Canadian artist based in Vancouver. Kolaj Magazine<\/em> wrote about the artist in Kolaj<\/em> #13<\/a>, just after he was shortlisted for the 2015 RBC Canadian Painting Competition. Read more HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
